What is eSIM?

eSIM is the result of the evolution of the classic SIM card, the chip has been moved into the device itself, and a physical SIM card is no longer required to change the operator. All you have to do to connect is specify the provider's settings. If previously one needed to find a local provider for accessible and stable internet connection when arriving in a new country, eSIM technology has significantly simplified the process.

Zadarma's eSIM allows you to connect to the internet in 150+ countries worldwide at affordable rates. Set it up once before your trip, and enjoy hassle-free internet access during your travels.
